Maryland REIT Law permits a Maryland real estate investment trust to include in its declaration of trust a provision limiting the liability of its trustees and officers to the trust and its shareholders for money damages except for liability
resulting from (a)&nbsp;actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b)&nbsp;active or deliberate dishonesty established in a judgment or other final adjudication to be material to the cause of action. Our

SIZE="2">The Maryland REIT Law permits a Maryland real estate investment trust to indemnify and advance expenses to its trustees, officers, employees and agents to the same extent as permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law (the
&#147;MGCL&#148;) for directors and officers of Maryland corporations. The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses
actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a)&nbsp;the act or omission if the director or officer was material to
the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i)&nbsp;was committed in bad faith or (ii)&nbsp;was a result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b)&nbsp;the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or
services or (c)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in
the right if the corporation or if the director or officer was adjudged to be liable to the corporation nor may a director be indemnified in circumstances in which the director is found liable for an improper personal benefit. In accordance with the
MGCL and our bylaws, our bylaws require us, as a condition to advancement of expenses, to obtain (a)&nbsp;a written affirmation by the trustee or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification
and (b)&nbsp;a written statement by or on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by us if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met. </FONT></P> <P
